Слава Україні! Zelensky destroying Trump’s blame-game without saying a single word

The sheer restraint it takes to just stand there and smile while a reporter lists off all of Trump's current failures: bad midterm prospects, tanking popularity, and starting a war! When asked if Trump is just using him as a scapegoat to cover up this absolute mess, Zelensky just smiles for ten solid seconds. "This is my answer".

Big Z doesn't even bother dignifying it with a real response, he just lets Trump's pathetic blame-shifting hang in the air in total silence. Drink that vatnik tears, fellas.

As a cold war kid, never would I have thought that a president would be in Ukraine, and that president would be the leader of the free world.

I never thought we would just bend over to Russia like that. Especially from a boomer. Just goes to proves he just wants money and power (and pee pee tapes)

I never thought it would be the Republicans too. The party of Reagan. Trump has absolutely destroyed the Republican party and the Democrats have always been a useless void. America has literally nobody worthy of representing itself left.

The Ukrainian President, busy as always, producing further steel for the Ukrainian Armed Forces with his evergrowing, huge Balls of Steel!

Trump understands that he cant bullshit with the files to get people to vote for him anymore.

Hes tried playing to his base. It hasn't been working.

Hes tried bribes. It doesnt seem to have been working (seriously this moron was offering 5000 dollars as a 'tarriff' dividend if the gop maintains control of the house which is ridiculous. And should be illegal but I guess even if it was illegal on paper Trump wouldnt give a shit.)

And now hes trying the one thing that he thinks MAY work due to Russian influence in our social media. Blaming Ukraine. Which as much as I hope we aren't stupid enough to fall for. The fact Trump was elected again means the bar is underground.

Mate, Trump getting elected the first time meant that the bar was probably somewhere near the Earth's core in 2016. The whole world could see what sort of fucking cockwomble he was going to be as President, even then, and still America put him in the White House.

It's genuinely astonishing. 🤯

Don’t underestimate the hundreds of millions of dollars Musk is throwing into the race to help save GOP. And many other billionaires as well.

I volunteer for Democrats in Texas, mainly going door to door speaking with voters.

Republicans instead hire tons of unemployed poor people to go deliver similar “Vote GOP” message to voters.

u/Ginpok 22h ago

Yeah but I will be honest. I dont think ive seen such a massive pull away from the GOP lately. Used to be a ton of people with trump signs in Vegas and as the months have come by ive been seeing less and less. And our dick guzzling governor is about as unpopular as can be right now.

I dont think Musk can save their chances.

People forget he was a comedian?

It's good to see he hasn't lost his sense of humor

u/emdentremont 1d ago

Or his comedic timing.

u/sachiprecious 22h ago

I would expect his comedic spirit to be completely gone by now with all he's been through. He can never go back to being that silly, lighthearted person from his old videos. But I'm glad he still has a little bit of that in him.

u/AstronomerSweet2133 1d ago

God hes just a level above practically all world leadership. Elite tier

Trump has nothing everything he's attempted has either failed or barely had any positive impact.

His trade war didn't bolster American industry or improve the economy.

He hasn't lowered the deficit. Only increased it (and by a large amount)

He hasn't ended any war Only started one.

He hasn't cracked down on illegal immigration

He hasn't contained china.

He cant even paint a pool without fucking it up.

Blaming ukraine for high diesel prices is just another desperate attempt at... something he's desperate He needs some kind of "win"

u/shibiwan Florkfella 20h ago

He also fucked up the east wing of the Whitehouse.

He also just destroyed a public golf course in Washington DC (ripped out 430+ trees, ignoring a judge's orders to hold off).

It’s the grift and sadism that he wants, and he gets that everyday.

Zelensky for EU president!

u/power_of_booze 23h ago edited 12h ago

Damn, good speech. Here are some facts about it…

  • Dear Mr. Trump, you seem to be impressed by strong men. Here you've got one
  • Zelensky propably told more truth in this clip, than Trump in the lastyear
  • It's true, Zelensky must go…
to Europe,because this guy is just awesome and will be always welcome there and Ukraines future lies in Europe, if it wishes to join

u/samNanton 21h ago

I would snap them up today. The minute Ukraine enters the EU, the EU becomes the dominant military force on the planet.

This made my WHOLE DAY. 😂🤣😂🤣 I love him so much. 🥰 He hasn't lost his comedic timing. I thought that was the perfect answer, much better than trying to give a long explanation.

u/EduinBrutus 11h ago

If this presidenting thing doesnt work out, he should consider a career in comedy...

He's got that comedic pause down to a science 😂
